Chapter 355: The Sword Demon's Sword
This maple leaf forest is vast and vast. More than an hour has passed, and Jiang Shouzhong and his wife still haven't been able to catch a glimpse of the scene outside the forest.
It is surrounded by continuous maple trees with intertwined branches and leaves.
If it weren’t for the obvious marks left on several thick old trees along the way, Jiang Shouzhong would have almost doubted whether he had been wandering in circles.
"Are you okay? Can you go out?"
Xiao Lingqiu asked dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Shouzhong, who was already in a bad mood, immediately became angry when he heard the woman complain.
He leaned Xiao Lingqiu next to a tree, then sat down on the ground, and said angrily: "You are awesome, you can find a way out by yourself. If it weren't for Miaomiao's sake, I don't care about you being such a burden."
Xiao Lingqiu raised her slender eyebrows and stared at the man coldly.
Being in a high position, she was used to being worshiped and flattered by others, but she had never been treated with such contempt.
Anyone in Yanrong who dared to talk to her like this would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.
However, knowing that he was in the wrong, Xiao Lingqiu did not reply.
After all, she is in an absolute disadvantage now and is indeed a burden. She can only rely on this man.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingqiu felt a little apologetic in her heart.
No matter what, the other party has been helping her, and "taking advantage" during this period was also unintentional. It's just that she wore colored glasses to look at him from the beginning, so naturally she couldn't see eye to eye.
If you put aside your prejudices, this man has done a good enough job.
But it is absolutely impossible to get the Queen Mother of a country to admit her mistakes and apologize.
When her ex-husband, the emperor, passed away, her father said this after helping her consolidate her power:
“When you sit in a high position, what you have to do every day is self-reflection. Listen to the advice of the people below and think about whether every decision you make is right or wrong. If it is wrong, what is wrong and how to correct it?
However, you must not bow to them and admit your mistakes. You can't even admit your mistakes. The subjects can bow their heads, but the emperor cannot. It is great wisdom and imperial authority to respect his mistakes. "
Xiao Lingqiu always remembered his father's teachings.
Over the years, she has gradually felt the constraints of being a superior.
It’s just that the deeper I feel, the more I miss my carefree self as a girl. This is also the reason why she has always pampered and pampered Yelu Miaomiao.
She didn’t want to kill the girl’s youth prematurely.
After all, Yelu Miaomiao will eventually have to take on some responsibilities in the future, and she must slowly learn to mature and learn to lock herself in a cage.
Although it is cruel, it is an inescapable reality.
So Xiao Lingqiu wanted to let Miaomiao enjoy the happiness and freedom of a young girl as much as possible while she was still young, so as not to be full of regrets like her.
I just didn’t expect that my indulgence would make this girl fall in love and be deceived by the scumbag.
This undoubtedly made Xiao Lingqiu very angry and regretful.
What is even more frustrating and annoying is that the scumbag is right in front of me, but I can't do anything. He even touches and looks at me... It's simply magical.
Xiao Lingqiu vomited blood out of breath, her mental quality was already good enough.
Jiang Shouzhong naturally didn't know the woman's psychology at the moment. He moved his sore shoulders and suddenly guessed: "Do you think it's possible that the two of us fell into an illusion? What we saw was actually It’s all fake.”
Illusion?
Xiao Lingqiu came back to his senses and frowned slightly.
She carefully observed the maple forest around her and shook her head slightly: "It shouldn't be possible."
The woman turned to look at the man: "How about you try to commit suicide?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? How about I try to kill you?"
Jiang Shouzhong said angrily. .
He rubbed his heart and bared his teeth slightly.
“Are you injured?”
Xiao Lingqiu's expression showed surprise.
"I'm not sure if it's an injury, it always hurts a little, like..." Jiang Shouzhong didn't know how to describe it, it felt like a knife had been stabbed in the heart.
Just as Xiao Lingqiu was about to speak, there was a sudden rustling sound among the trees.
But a gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves, and gorgeous leaves fell from the branches one after another.
But the next moment, their expressions changed.
After these leaves fell to the ground, they seemed to have turned into living creatures and crawled towards Jiang Shouzhong and the others. Each leaf had slender claws.
What kind of monster is this?
Leaf demon?
Looking at the stacked leaf monsters, Jiang Shou felt a chill in his heart.
Without thinking too much, the man held Xiao Lingqiu in his arms like a princess, quickly observed, and rushed towards a more open place.
Densely packed leaf monsters chased towards them, making frightening rustling sounds.
At this time, Xiao Lingqiu couldn't care less about the relationship between men and women. After regaining some strength, she subconsciously grabbed Jiang Shouzhong's skirt, her slender fingers turned white.
The woman's phoenix eyes stared nervously at the leaf monster coming like a thin wave of water, and she felt her scalp numb.
What on earth is this place?
Why are there so many weird monsters?
The woman's body is close to Jiang Shouzhong, and the skirt of her clothes rises and falls as she runs, as if two flat peaches are popping out at any time.
“I have a few mysterious fire talismans in my arms, throw them all out!”
Seeing that the leaf monsters around him were getting denser and denser, Jiang Shouzhong shouted quickly as he ran wildly.
At the beginning, he searched a lot of treasures at Mingjian Villa, including some talismans that were not very powerful, but at least somewhat useful. Jiang Shouzhong always carried some with him.
Xiao Lingqiu reached into the man's clothes and grabbed a pile of sundries.
She didn't care which one was the mysterious fire talisman and threw all the talismans at the chasing leaf monster.
With the roar, the talismans exploded one after another.
The flames suddenly rose, instantly igniting all the weird leaf monsters.
The fireworks spread quickly like a spark of fire, turning into a blazing ocean wherever they went. Even the maple forest was affected and made a crackling sound.
Even so, there are still many leaf monsters continuing to chase, and there are even many appearing in front.
"There is no way out. Don't you have some magic weapon with you?"
Jiang Shouzhong asked breathlessly.
These words woke up the woman. Xiao Lingqiu shook her wrist vigorously, some golden powder swayed from her sleeves, and then she slapped her sleeves hard.
The golden powder was scraped and spread around.
What is this?
Before Jiang Shouzhong could see it, the golden powder suddenly stopped, and then turned into a thin golden wall on all sides, tightly protecting them inside.
As Jiang Shouzhong ran, the protective barrier also moved simultaneously.
A few leaf monsters touched the golden barrier and were instantly blown away, turning into a ball of powder.
Jiang Shouzhong was dumbfounded.
You have this powerful thing, why didn’t you take it out earlier?
"Hurry up, this magic weapon can only last for one stick of incense at most!" Xiao Lingqiu reminded.
Only one stick of incense?
Jiang Shouzhong ignored the complaints and kept his head down to speed up the rush.
At this moment, he was like a wild bull plunging into the dense pile of leaf monsters. With every step he took, countless monsters were blown away and turned into ashes in an instant.
Jiang Shouzhong protected the woman in his arms as tightly as possible.
During the bumpy journey, Xiao Lingqiu could clearly feel the breath emanating from the man, as well as the warm air that occasionally brushed his cheeks due to his rapid breathing.
This made her feel an inexplicable strange feeling, and her cheeks under the disguise were also slightly hot.
And what embarrassed her the most was.
The man's hand hugging her upper waist almost pressed against her great breast on the right side, and even occasionally she felt a slight pulling pain.
Of course Xiao Lingqiu knew that the man did not mean it.
In this crisis situation, the other party really had no intention of taking advantage of her.
It’s just... that the Queen Mother still couldn’t let go after all.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Lingqiu noticed that the man began to slow down. She turned around and saw that there was no more leaf monster chasing her.
The two finally got out of the crisis.
Xiao Lingqiu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to speak, but was stunned for a moment. In the woman's sight at this moment, the man's handsome face was covered with beads of sweat, and the sweat slowly slid down his chin. Jiang Shouzhong, who could not help but breathe heavily, gritted his teeth and held on.
This scene is somewhat touching.
Remembering that the other party seemed to be injured, Xiao Lingqiu's eyes softened a little.
"Damn it, what kind of lousy place is this?"
Jiang Shouzhong put the woman on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complained while gasping, "I said you It’s too heavy. I’ll be exhausted if I keep running.”
The woman who was a little moved at first suddenly turned dark when she heard the man's words.
Heavy?
Meaning that I am fat?
No matter how thoughtful Xiao Lingqiu is, she is a woman after all, so she immediately got a little defensive: "Am I heavy? I think you are too weak, you can't even hold a woman."
"Whatever you say."
Jiang Shouzhong waved his hands and leaned against the tree, breathing heavily.
At this time, he once again felt a severe pain in his heart.
It seems to be tightly grasped by something.
Jiang Shouzhong inexplicably remembered the nightmare he had before. He could no longer remember the content of the nightmare, but vaguely... there seemed to be a familiar figure.
"Light dust?"
Jiang Shouzhong murmured.
The man looked up at the sky and sighed.
——
——
The morning in Beijing was sunny and warm.
It fell through the sparse clouds, coating the old but clean streets with a golden glow.
Pedestrians come and go.
Either leisurely or in a hurry.
And among them, a figure seemed particularly inconsistent.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a white Confucian shirt. He has an ordinary appearance and is inconspicuous in a crowd. But at this time, he seemed to have an invisible aura on his body, causing people around him to move out of the way unconsciously.
The man didn't walk fast.
Every step you take is down-to-earth.
But when others suddenly looked back, the figure of the other party had gone far away, leaving only a blur.
When the man arrived in front of the palace, he was surrounded by countless Forbidden troops who were waiting for him.
The Chang Ge, who were originally standing like a forest, pointed their sharp spear points at the man in Confucian shirt. It seemed that even the sky was shaken by this murderous aura, and the dark clouds were heavy.
The man ignored him and continued walking towards the palace gate step by step.
The imperial troops also retreated subconsciously.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of armor rubbing against each other.
The air was filled with tension
The imperial general who had boasted in front of the emperor and planned to lead his army to capture the sword cultivator was sitting high on the horse at this moment, but he seemed to His throat was choked, and he couldn't squeeze out a single word.
It wasn't until the man in black appeared in front of the palace gate that a crack appeared in this invisible and powerful pressure, allowing the soldiers present to take a breath.
“You’re late.”
Zhao Wuxiu looked at Yan Changqing.
Yan Changqing, who is used to wearing a green shirt on weekdays, but now wearing a white Confucian shirt sewn by his wife when he was young, looked at the majestic palace and said with a smile: "It's not too late."
< br>Zhao Wuxiu said: "Are you really planning to let your daughter become a demon?"
"What is a demon?"
Yan Changqing took off the wine bottle from his waist, put it to his nose and smelled it, and asked, "I, Yan Changqing, are called sword demons, am I also a demon?"
Zhao Wuxiu was silent.
Yan Changqing suddenly coughed, and it took a while before he stopped.
“Why bother.”
Zhao Wuxiu looked a little complicated.
Yan Changqing looked down at the blood stains on the handkerchief and said with a smile:
"After all, I am here to give a gift. After all, my daughter is treated so well. I can't thank the superior one. , I thought I, Yan Changqing, was incompetent."
He looked up in the direction of the Jinluan Palace and murmured: "Qing Xu, back then you said you wanted to see what the emperor's dragon chair looked like. Once, let me take a look for you."
"How many swords are you planning to use?" Zhao Wuxiu asked.
"Just one sword."
Yan Changqing slowly picked up a wooden sword at his waist and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you can block it or not, it's just this sword, not too much or too much." "Master. I'll leave after seeing you off."
......
The atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall was solemn.
The civil and military officials on both sides all lowered their heads at this time, not daring to offend the power of heaven above.
"It is said that power is sought in the court, and chivalry is discussed in the rivers and lakes. One is the importance of the temple, and the other is the heart of the grassland... But in my opinion, the so-called chivalry in the rivers and lakes is just for the pursuit of fame and fortune, and is no better than a dog and a pig. Just a philistine."
Zhou Chang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace gate, with a hint of scorn on his gloomy face.
"Sword Demon is like this, Zhao Wuxiu... is also like this."
Hearing this, Baiguan lowered his head lower.
Brother, I am protecting you from a strong enemy outside right now. Is it appropriate for you to say sarcastic words behind your back?
"The world belongs to all people. All peoples are my descendants. Since ancient times, only strict fathers punished their descendants, but I have never heard of descendants coming to punish their fathers."
Zhou Chang hesitated. With his lips, he leaned back lazily and said with a smile, "I'm just sitting here watching. Who is more powerful, Jianghu, or me?" Here comes a black spot.
As the black spot got closer and closer, everyone was shocked to see that it was a human figure, and it was Zhao Wuxiu!
At this time, Zhao Wuxiu clasped his hands tightly and looked ferocious.
It seemed like there was something between the palms.
“Get out of the way!”
Zhao Wuxiu, who was bleeding from all his orifices, roared angrily.
The officials were a little confused.
It wasn’t until they saw a very deep ravine appearing on the ground where Zhao Wuxiu passed that everyone fled in fear.
Zhou Chang was still sitting on the dragon chair with a calm face.
He firmly held the dragon head statue on the armrest, with pride and perseverance in his eyes.
He is the True Dragon Emperor, how can he be frightened by a martial arts swordsman!
Zhao Wuxiu kept retreating, knocking open a jade railing, cracking a pillar, and knocking away a stone lion, but he was still unable to suppress the ferocious sword energy.
“Get out of the way!”
Zhao Wuxiu roared again as he crashed into the Jinluan Palace.
It was shouted at the emperor.
But Zhou Chang still sat firmly on the dragon throne.
He stared gloomily at the invincible sword energy, his back straight.
Seeing the stone bricks flying and scattering, watching the palace door collapse, watching the palace wall cracking, watching Zhao Wuxiu being forced to hide away, the emperor's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Yan! Chang! Green!"
Endless anger and hatred squeezed out from between the teeth.
Zhou Chang cursed angrily, quickly stood up and dodged aside.
Boom!
The golden dragon chair was cut in half.
